On the slopes of this collapse, there are many fumaroles with a release of water vapor and sulfur gas at the origin of sulfur deposits observed.

Sulfur crystallizes giving very beautiful needles. The gases escaping from these structures are sometimes very hot, they contain water vapor as well as hydrogen sulphide at the origin of these crystallizations when it oxidizes in the air.
